Self-Service Pointers
If you choose to do your own fueling, you
should also perform a few simple maintenance
routines. This extra effort will save you
additional money and contribute to the driving
efficiency of your vehicle.
The following procedures require only a tire
gauge, a rag, an oil can spout and windshield
washer fluid.
Check the engine oil at every refueling stop
Clean the windshield, outside mirrors and
headlights
Check windshield washer fluid
Check tires for excessive wear or worn edges
Check the tire pressure at least monthly

Emission Control System

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter which enables your vehicle to comply
with applicable exhaust emission requirements.
Exhaust leaks may result in the entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes into
the passenger compartment. Under
extreme conditions excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the fuel
system, the interior floor covering, or
other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
